Gee, thought I read people on here that said we had no chance to stop the highpower Atlanta offense and couldnt do anything with the Falcons great defense. Strike up another great call for CZ experts!
Outstanding win by the team. Other than two drives, our defense totally stopped them. Michael Turner didnt do crap. Matt Ryan really didnt do crap. Roddy White averaged something like 8 yds a catch. We didnt do anything in 1st quarter offensively, then they couldnt stop us. They did a good job vs the run, but they couldnt contain our passing game. For the first time this yr, Romo REALLY played a great game. He had a couple other solid games that looked better because of WR's YAC's, but today he was the "great" Romo.
1) Yes, Miles Austin is absolutely legit. Remember when we cut TO, Jones made the comment about Austin potentially being a #1? (not just a good player, or decent starter) Yeah, Jones was just in a drunken state I guess.
2) I think this is by far the best the pass rush has looked this yr. All you dopes that said Ware was a potential waste of money 3 weeks ago, please stand up and be accounted for. Of all the stupid crap thats said on here on a day to day basis, people questioning THIS guy have to be rated as THE dumbest. And the pressure didnt just come from Ware, it came from alot of people.
3) Alot of teams get credit for hiring this coach or that coach, but us bringing in Joe DeCamilis never gets mentioned, and its a shame. What a DRAMATIC difference in special teams coverage units. Buehler and McBriar are just ridiculous, but our coverage units when teams to try run backs are just amazing. It's the best we've had since the early Jimmy days.
4) Maybe we should demote Patrick Crayton more often.
5) Thought our offensive game plan was outstanding, though I have to admit I hated seeing the kneel downs at 2:00 mins. I wanted another TD and some more rushing stats. Over 400 yds of offense again, and over 8.0 yds per play.
6) I still believe that at some point this yr, Roy Williams is going to have some big games.
7) Yeah, I'm glad we didnt trade Martellus Bennett. He was more involved today and like RW above, I believe there's gonna be a few games this yr where he shows up huge.
8) Allen Rossum, we hardly knew ye.
9) Wade deservedly gets bashed for alot of stuff, but insisting on adding Keith Brooking once he got waived is something he deserves a ton of credit for. (I admit, I thought Brooking was done when we got him). It was also Phillips who wanted DeCamilis.
10) Mike Jenkins, you are a future probowler. No doubt in my mind about it. Wont be this yr, but look out 2010 onward.
11) Hard to gauge much on our RB's today, the Falcons clearly were geared up to stop the run. But Felix looked pretty damn quick to me. Only negative was the fumble, but he was solid other than that.
12) Gotta take care of Seattle next week, otherwise todays win doesnt mean much. But assuming they do, being healthy (potentially) and 5-2 going into Philly doesnt look so bad.
